Key to Summary writing
The writer went to the theatre last week. He did not enjoy the play. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind him. They were talking loudly. The writer could not hear the actors. He turned round. ‘I can't hear a word!’ he said. ‘This is a private conversation!’ the young man said.
